The Governor has issued his order
for another election. A Keprcsenta
tivc lias to he elected to supply the
place of I Ion. M, P. O'Connor. The
thought of another election now, when
everything is quiet, is repulsive to the
people. Frequent elections, in the
unnatural condition of our body
politic, are decidedly injurious' Hut
there is no help for the matter in this
ease. There is a vacancy, and it
must be filled. The question now is,
who is to till it? In answering this
question let us not enquire from
which section the candidate is to
come, but who is the best man to (ill
the place? Wc want a man of ability
and honesty to lie nominated, and we
care not whether he comes from
Charleston, Clarendon or Orange
burg. Give its the beat timber tluit
can be lound in the Second Con
gressional District.

It is refreshing to read sentiments
like the following from t he Press of
the State. The Lancaster Ledger
says:
"There is a noticcal le disposition
among a few of our exchanges lb
suppress a freedom of opinion. This
is wholly wrong, and, if the inclina
tion grows, will lead to dangerous
consequences: One of the olllces
that a newspaper, worthy of its name,
is supposed to discharge, is to hold
the mirror up true to nature?to rc
tlcct the public opinion of society
jitsl a* it is. Besides, it is a creator
of this opinion in no insignificant
degree. When the Press fails to
out its condemnation of wrong,
whatever specious vestment the
[same may appear, it fails in otic of
its highestdtilies and becomes the
sport of the breeze?a mere weather
vane."
The Palmetto Yeoman speaks but
on the same subject as follows:
"A muzzled or hampered press is a
mere Itgurc head, a weathercock that
turns with every wind of doctrine, j
.id is a very unsafe counsellor and1
uide in cases of emergency, it may
<e necessary to keep in line and '
square our actions by orthodox arti
cles of faith and practice set forth in
the platform, but some people don'i
like to be carrying tip their cried
and having their utterances examin
ed by a court of enquiry at every
election to se j if they can pass
muster."'
There is not enough independence
in journalism. Parly fealty is all
very good, but fealty ti> truth is far
nobler. When an issue is made be
tween party and truth, every honest
and independent journalist should
decidfi in favor of truth. Such is the
Unfortunate condition of politics in
the South that freedom of political
opinion has boon to a certain extent
necessarily uuj.'presse.l. It :t, not a
hingl ? step .should hetaken in ihi?
direction beyond wh.st uecc ;sLy abso
lutely requires. Neee<s':ly alone
should be the motive power here.

are really trying l?get back again
A conference was held at \ ice-Piosi
dent Arthur's house, on last Sunday
afternoon, at which ("oakling and
Platt were both present. They here
received assurances of support for re
election from a large number of prom
inent friends. The opposition to their
re-election, however, seems to be as
suming much larger proportions than
the Senators ever dreamed of, ami
I their humiliation, if defeated, would
be complete. A number of the moth

to Albany on .Monday morning said

a IIettek OUTLOOK.
? The National Democratic party
i occupies a better position now than
it has for some time. It has profited
well by the errors und quarrels of tin
Republicans. The boldness and sa
gacity of the representations of the
party in the last session of Congress
have done much good. Ma hone and
Kiddlidtiirger have been completely
squelched and laid aside, and a first
class row has bc-li gotten up in the
Republican camp. We hope now the
advantages gained will be followed
up with wisdoiii and moderation.
The Republicans have been out
llauked in the ren nt movements.
